I can join the list of people confirming this bug. Under Hardy 8.04 LTS on my Dell Inspiron 530 desktop PC, my card works fine, being detected by the wireless manager as:
Intel Corporation 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection (rev 02) RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI and I get good connectivity. It continued to work fine under 8.10 and 9.04, but when I tried to update to Karmic 9.10, the update hiccuped halfway through. After that, I found that my network connectivity stank. I could connect reliably to my wireless router: Typing the stereotypical 192.168.0.1 into my browser address box immediately brought up the control panel for the wireless router. However, actual Internet sites were, at best, very slow to load and, at worst, completely inaccessible. My mail was also completely inaccessible. It was always the same sites I couldn't reach; those I could, were a bit faster when accessed repeatedly. I burned a Karmic 9.10 disk on 20 Nov 2009 and ran it as LiveCD. The problem was still there, so it wasn't a corruption of my configuration files on my hard disk due to the hiccup during installation. I had to reinstall Hardy 8.04 LTS on my system. (Fortunately I had the wit to thoroughly back up before trying to update to Karmic.) Everything is working great now, so it's not my hardware. It looks very much like something went wrong with the RaLink RT2500-series wireless card drivers between 9.04 and 9.10. -- rt2500usb wireless does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
